EFB Elektronik MTPM08LCOM3-0.4 MTP to LC Fanout Cable, OM3, LSZH, Aqua, 0.4m

The EFB Elektronik MTPM08LCOM3-0.4 is a high-performance MTP to LC fanout cable designed for 40G/100G Ethernet breakout applications in data centers and storage area networks. This 8-fiber multimode OM3 cable features an MTP male connector on one end and four LC duplex connectors on the other, enabling seamless connectivity between MPO-based equipment and LC interfaces. The cable is built with a low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket in aqua color, ensuring safety and easy identification in high-density environments.

Advantages

This fanout cable offers reliable, low-loss performance with insertion loss less than 0.35 dB for MTP and less than 0.25 dB for LC connectors. The OM3 fiber grade supports high-bandwidth applications up to 10 Gb/s over distances up to 300 meters. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire, making it ideal for confined spaces. Polarity Type B ensures correct fiber alignment for duplex transmission.

Suitable for

• Data center 40G/100G Ethernet breakout connections
• Storage area network (SAN) infrastructure
